All over, decent effort to get 4 points this weekend.

As much as it’s gutting to miss out and a club like Panthers should be expected to qualify for the playoffs in far more fond of this team than I’ve been of any for a long time and certainly since COVID. This team has quality in some areas and I hope we keep a good amount of that quality as a core going forward. This team had real potential and it will go down as what might’ve been had tragedy not struck

Imagine being just so sad that you “like” every post that pertains to something going against the club.

Gave it their all but sadly not to be.
Just agonising when you look at those OTs which could have gone the other way recently,an extra point here or there.
Still we didn't finish bottom which is something! I thought there would be no chance of that a few months back.
These players will go down in Panthers history for coming back after what happened...I have enjoyed this season more than I have for years...the atmosphere around the place has been incredible...crazy it's now all over.

I'm very much trying to stay on the positives. As I sit hear looking at all sorts of posts and tweets etc, look at the league table, I cant help but think back to Monday. 😞

Unfortunately, it was very much a bridge too far.

Very much this. There was a period in early November were I didn't think we'd take to the ice again this season. The resilience this roster has shown, time and time again, has been fantastic. So different to last year and that side made it to play off weekend. I'd take this years roster over last any day of the week.

Huge crowd again today and the best atmosphere I’ve ever seen at the NIC. Panthers org need to really build on this now and really put together something special. I really hope that the Panthers can try to keep the best of the core and put out a team next season to really challenge hard. Make this season the starting point for something special for both the organisation and the many thousands who come to stand up and be counted every game. This can’t be just another season. It has to have someone put down a real marker for ALL involved.

Something has to come out of this or it will be hard for anyone to fully recover: players, fans, staff and organisation. And like you I believe there's something in this group to build on. We were sat 2nd before we lost Adam, having played as many "big teams" as any of the teams in the top half of the table. That was not for nothing. Last year 50pts would have got us 6th. And it's more than we actually scored last year. Despite everything they've had to deal with What we would have achieved with Adam for two years is anyone's guess. But for me we need to come back strong now for everyone's sake

But for me we need to come back strong now for everyone's sake 2 seasons ago we finished 4th on 55 points. People can come and debate it all they like, but for me, even since the return this group was better than where they finished. That first few months back, clearly struggling to get going was rough. The ability was there but the head obviously wasn't. I of course think there is a core to keep, some upgrades are also needed to compete at the top, but if you kept that entire team of outskaters and swapped our goalie setup for Manchesters we'd have probably finished 4th.

Sadly no silverware this season but that matters not a jot. Courage, fortitude and character are rare commodities, this team have shown they possess all these qualities in spades, from the coach down. They have honoured Adam Johnson by their actions, they have given pride back to a club that desperately needed it. From the tragic events of the 28th October last year they have built hope for the future. Thank you Nottingham Panthers, you were magnificent.

Well what a way to bow out on a season that will never be forgotten. needing 4pts from this weekend and getting them we way we did is something magical and I was beginning to think dare we have a Disney ending? sadly not to be but I've not heard a roar like that since Dan Spangs OT winner against Belfast some seasons ago.
ALL The players, coaching and medical staff are Heroes to come through the darkness of Adam's passing like they and we did, together was something to be proud of.
I say this loud and proud... WE ARE THE NOTTINGHAM PANTHERS!! who will never give up and and whoever comes back next season we will be a louder and prouder, stronger and more dangerous team and one that will not to be taken lightly. Rest up, heal up and we'll be back in August/September. WE are the NOTTINGHAM PANTHERS.

I love this team, organisation and fans. Every trip to Nottingham or away games, the fans are just brillaint!! But everyone part of the panthers should be so proud! Everything about how they handled the passing of Adam from player and fans support, to his number being retired, his memorial, then to the players taking the ice and salvaging all our hope into what will be come next season. It’s been a privilege to follow this team this year!!!

It's somewhat ironic that our last Goal of the season had a bit of luck with the deflection as we had been on the receiving end of unlucky bounces or deflections.
Rok made a really good save near the end of Regulation when I was thinking Manchester are going to nick it.
All in all, a season like nothing that has been experienced before. Even though the results weren't there, you could see the effort and I didn't mind going to games unlike previous seasons that felt like chores but only went because I had a Season Ticket.
Beating Cardiff away 4-2 and beating Belfast 5-1 at home were the highlights along with that game against Glasgow when we finally won
At least we ended the season on our shield

I thought the crowd was excellent tonight. Truly fantastic to see a huge turn out that was really vocal in their support. Manchester fans were good too 👏🏻

Manchester fans were good too 👏🏻 Given that Manchester were the first team we played after losing Adam, and that it was they who stepped up in order to help our players return to the ice with the Memorial Game, there is, for me, a certain symmetry to the fact that the last game this group played together as a team was also Manchester. Would have wished it was us beating them in the playoff final ultimately but, if that was not too be, given the way they helped us back onto our feet was nice to get to say thanks to them and their fans tonight. A disappointed-to-be-out thanks, but a nonetheless heartfelt thanks to a team that stepped up for us when we needed it. Total respect to their players, organisation and their fans for that
